Persistent 3D-Look

Environment: Visual C++4.0, Win95

Greetings,

...I've hit Microsoft's Knowledge Base about adding the 3d look to 
dynamically created controls... unfortunately what I'm trying to do is 
create a COMBOBOX *without* the 3D look of Win95.  I've got a "flat" EDIT 
control, but the COMBOBOX of mine is always coming up 3D.  (I've tried 
Create, CreateEX, ModifyStyle and ModifyExStyle).

...Anyone know how to get rid of the persistent 3D look on a CComboBox?

(this seems like it should be a lot easier than it's turning out to be)

Thanks,

Why don't you try trapping the WM_CTLCOLOR message?  That is how you
GAVE the 3D look before Win95... Just return a CBrush, and don't call
the base class....
